초록
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic characteristics of crying infants according to the communication intents such as hunger and pain in terms of acoustic differences in the fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer,noise-to-harmonic ratio(NHR), habitual pitch, and intensity. The subjects were 20 healthy, normal infants, less than seven days old, from the city of Seoul and were born after 38 to 42 weeks(full term) of pregnancy. The sound of crying was recorded for three minutes. The crying due to pain was induced by means of the inborn metabolism error test, whereas the crying due to hunger was verified by means of the rooting reflex by waiting for the designated eating time. The results were as follows:(1) the fundamental frequency, noise-to-harmonic ratio(NHR), and intensity of the infants’ crying due to pain was higher than that by hunger, showing a significant difference between the mean values. (2) the infants’ crying due to hunger and that by pain did not have a significant difference in the mean jitter and shimmer values but both of them were largely outside of the normal threshold values(jitter by 1.04% and shimmer by 3.81%). This study was significant in the sense that it showed the acoustic characteristics of infants’ crying from hunger and pain were very different from each other according to the communication intents in terms of the six acoustic parameters.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic characteristics of crying infants according to the communication intents such as hunger and pain in terms of acoustic differences in the fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer,noise-to-harmonic ratio(NHR), habitual pitch, and intensity.

The sound of crying was recorded for three minutes.
